- Some text incoming here, I warn you.Here's Asher. He's a little under 2 years old but we don't know for sure what age. His original owners apparently moved house and LEFT HIM BEHIND, literally abandoning him. He was probably just over a year old at that point.Thankfully the neighbours tried to take care of him but he ended up living outside as they couldn't take him in. They fed him and took care of him until they could get him a slot at a shelter. He landed at the second shelter a little later as the original shelter was not a no-kill shelter and he was on borrowed time. That's when I got the lead on him and it's taken a few weeks to get everything sorted out. Last night Asher came home. I caught this picture of him after just about an hour of being home. I think he's comfortable.He's a huge love-bug. He wants nothing more than to be petted and loved. Not surprising with what he's been through. I've got some training to do… he's housetrained and knows some basic commands but he's also still a puppy… "stay" seems to be problematic LOL.He and Nanuq are getting along just fine. I think we'll have a few scuffles over rawhides as Nanuq's used to having them all to himself and Asher likes them too. But nothing we can't handle.Welcome home, Asher. We're so happy to have you.#siberianhusky #huskiesofinstagram - February 1, 2026
Today on a friend’s Facebook feed I saw an article on “Co-Living” or “PodSharing”. My immediate reaction was “WTF?”
https://www.cnn.com/2019/07/05/success/podshare-co-living/index.html
This… is just unreal. I mean, I get it; property prices in the Bay Area are completely insane and finding a place to live when you’re young, or an immigrant (or both) can be incredibly stressful and difficult to accomplish. But WTH is this?
I was most immediately reminded of the Foxconn Dorms, talked about a lot around 6 or 7 years ago;

Apart from the sheen of “natural materials” (read; wood), how does this really differ? I mean apart from the fact that the “PodSharing” is a private-industry version of this where you pay for it directly instead of your company providing it.
And the thing that strikes me is the same people who are living in these “Pods” are quite likely the same people who were all over the comment sections of Reddit and the like back then saying “Thank God I’m an American and not working in one of these Chinese sweatshops…”
Well, kids; how do you like these new American high-tech sweatshops?
